Motivation
The default httplib threads pool is set to
std::thread::hardware_concurrency()
which is NOT always adapted for completions.
As far, completions tasks can be deferred, http server threads pool
can quickly be full by reaching the number of available host cpu cores
while actually continuous batching can accept more requests on the GPU device.
This fix allows the user to choose the balanced number of threads in the http server pool.
Changes
Introduce
--threads-http N
to override the default configuration.
